Win2K ACPI and my Abit BX6-2

Recommended Posts

I found BIG incompatibibity in this version of BX6-2 bios.

 

Filename: BXRQR.EXE

Date: 05/08/2000

ID: QR

 

When I tried to install released version of Windows 2000 Server, the installer shut down my computer after 'Starting Windows 2000' message. I CANNOT INSTALL WIN2K!!! (Problem is same with Win2K RC2, RC3)

 

With this BIOS Win2K found ACPI bios. If I choose Standard PC HAL, Win2K installed fine, but Stand By, Suspend are not available.

 

My hardware:

Celeron 300A

SB Live Sound Card

Asus V6600 VGA (I tried Tseng ET6000, but nothing...)

KTI ET32/p Ethernet card

128 MB ram

1.44 floppy

WD 6400 UDMA HDD

56K external MODEM

HP Deskjet 695C.

MAG XJ700T

 

After the BIOS upgrade I loaded Defauldt Settings, Enabled ACPI functions. (And used Soft Menu for my CPU)

 

Win98 couldn't use SCI Acpi device or interrupt, I don't remember.

 

Same configurations with ASUS P2B MotherBoard works fine. :((

(same cards in 'same' slots)
